When I try to sign up for https://inverse.chat, I'm given the following information:

> Create your account > Please enter the XMPP provider to register with: > Tip: A list of public XMPP providers is available here.

When I click on the XMPP providers, I'm taken here:

https://xmpp.net/directory.php

There's like a hundred options, so now I just close the tab and give up because I have no idea what to pick.

Can you instead provide a sign up form that let's me sign up directly to a default provider? The process should mirror how webmail works, e.g. when you visit outlook.com, gmail, fastmail etc. you also end up with an email account with them.



The server input suggests conversejs.org, you can use that as a default.


Nope - conversejs is just the front end.

Even if I go to conversejs.org I still have to pick a public XMPP provider when trying to use this for the first time (what is that, what are the implications of picking one, why is one better than then other, which Geo should I pick, why do some have weird names, ...)


It's not just the frontend, there's also an XMPP server hosted under conversejs.org, so you can have an account like crispyporkbites@conversejs.org
